For the 2026 World Cup final, Louis Vuitton unveils an exceptional trophy trunk, handcrafted in its historic Asnières workshops. Monogram canvas, hand-painted gold "V", period brass: a look at a masterpiece of craftsmanship — and the art of accessing these rare pieces with AC Private, the reference luxury concierge.
On July 19, 2026, before kick-off of the World Cup final at the New York New Jersey Stadium, one object will step onto the pitch: a trunk. Not just any trunk. A Louis Vuitton trophy trunk, the case for the most coveted trophy on the planet. A look back at a masterpiece of craftsmanship — and the art of accessing the rarest pieces with AC Private.
A tradition of excellence born in 2010
Since the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Louis Vuitton has crafted the official case that transports and presents world football's most prestigious trophy. The 2026 edition marks the fifth consecutive trunk, following South Africa (2010), Brazil (2014), Russia (2018) and Qatar (2022). For this tournament, the house is designated an official supplier and licensee of FIFA.
The 2026 trunk: a handcrafted masterpiece
Like every Louis Vuitton trunk since 1854, this one is handmade in the historic workshops of Asnières-sur-Seine, the cradle of the house's savoir-faire. It bears the iconic Monogram canvas, "lozine" leather borders, and brass corners, locks and clasps inspired by heritage trunks from the 1860s.
The signature detail of the 2026 edition: a hand-painted "V" on the two front panels. A "V" that celebrates both Victory and Vuitton, in a gold finish echoing the metallic luster of the trophy. Inside, light beige leather and a patch commemorating the Louis Vuitton–FIFA partnership.
The most coveted trophy in the world
The trunk is custom-designed to house a unique object: the World Cup trophy, made of 18-karat gold and malachite, weighing nearly 6.175 kilograms. Its presentation, orchestrated on the field moments before the final, brings together house ambassadors and football legends — a suspended moment where French craftsmanship meets the history of sport.
A limited-edition capsule collection
Beyond the unique trunk, Louis Vuitton unveils a capsule collection under official FIFA license, echoing the trophy trunk's visual identity — Monogram canvas, hand-painted "V" and World Cup branding. Three exceptional rigid pieces:

Louis Vuitton and football: the alliance of sport and savoir-faire

Two worlds, one quest for the absolute — and a trunk to unite them under the spotlight of sport's greatest stage.
